Article Synopsis
- Horses played a crucial role in Indigenous cultures in the American Southwest and Great Plains, but the timeline and methods of their integration remain debated.
- A study analyzing historic horse remains combined genomic, isotopic, and other evidence, revealing strong genetic ties to Iberian horses, with later British influences.
- By the early 17th century, horses were widely adopted in Indigenous societies, impacting herd management, ceremonies, and cultural practices before European observers arrived in the 18th century.

Cytokine secretion by activated lymphocytes or mast cells is preceded by dramatic stabilization of the normally labile GM-CSF mRNA. The 3'-untranslated region of GM-CSF and other labile mRNAs contain the destabilizing motif adenosine-uridine-uridine-uridine-adenosine (AUUUA).

A coincident allergen injection may have been a contributing factor in the sudden development of the nephrotic syndrome. Markedly elevated levels of circulating immune complexes (greater than 6400 mg/dl) were found containing kappa-casein and bovine serum albumin (BSA), the latter predominating.
